Older Celebs Who Were Gorgeous When They Were Young

It might shock you that the ruggedly handsome, mustachioed Sam Elliot was one clean-cut young man. No, Elliot didn't time travel to Hollywood directly from the Old West, but in fact, he moseyed his way into town from the Pacific Northwest. As a young actor, Elliot appeared on popular shows like "Mission: Impossible," "Hawaii Five-0," and "Gunsmoke," but it wasn't until his starring role in the movie "Lifeguard" in 1976 that glimpses of the sexy Elliott – of course rocking his signature facial hair – started to emerge.

It seems that since then, Elliot's mustache has rarely left his upper lip, becoming a signature part of his allure. In movies like "Tombstone" and "The Big Lebowski," and TV shows such as "The Ranch" and "1883," it's always there. But if you ask Elliott about people's fascination with it, he's a little baffled. Appearing on "The Today Show," Elliott said, "It's a weird thing, isn't it? It's just hair on somebody's lip. I'm comfortable with it or without it." Although it's been decades since Elliott made a splash in "Lifeguard," he doesn't deny that he still keeps it hot. When asked if he still considered himself a sex symbol in his 70s, he told The Washington Post, "It's a little late for that. That's not where I'm thinking I am in this day and age, for sure. But, yeah, I guess I can cop to it. It's genetics, I guess."
